The “human algorithm.” What an interesting and telling term.

As creators or curators of content, each individual or brand has a responsibility to understand and provide insight into the content we share. Truthfully, this is precisely why content curation tools are so valuable. By effectively eliminating the time it takes to locate interesting and relevant content, curators can focus their efforts on evaluating the value and validity of the information.

It’s great that they embrace this concept – there’s so much more to leverage. And let’s not forget that even traditional media had their fair share of hoaxes.

As a communications professional, I’ve been using StoryCrawler for content curation. Love working with this company. Great content and easy to then redistribute the material.

To piggyback on what Mathew said, I think there is an increasing need to serve this more sophisticated news consumer. I think a big part of where many mainstream news orgs have gone wrong is treating all news consumer the same, assuming they all have the same informational needs, are all interested in the same topics, consume news the same way, etc. I think the future will partly be built on serving different demographics differently and the highly engaged, sophisticated, discerning news consumer appears to be a growing group.

Great overview and reasoned thinking. Thanks Matthew. It is obviously going to be easier for organisations like Huffington Post than the BBC to use the human algorithms. I think it also depends on whether what you’re trying to verify might save a life or prevent an accident, rather than checking if an incident is real or fake. But it’s very important that this process of verification and curation takes place. It’s what journalists do best. And then there are a few important stories where it is just as important to produce with the audience rather than just for them. Flooding in Australia, earthquake in NZ. That must be the biggest challenge in Northern Japan right now. NHK is a broadcaster, but lousy at understanding how to build a public conversation.
